The Sheikh suggests having a sensitive conversation to identify the underlying cause by empowering your husband and asking about his thoughts or physical issues. marriage, intimacy, communication, husband, relationship, neglect https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZLaLfk2VWZo
So this is a sensitive topic. It requires a sensitive conversation. The key thing is you want to find out what are the underlying causes for your husband. And the way to do this, husbands and men, they respond to being empowered. They don't respond, for example, in general, to if you were to say, you know, you've done X, Y and Z, this is what you're doing. Why are you doing this? Husbands respond and they will give you the answers they want and they will come across to your way of thinking when they feel empowered. So, for example, you could say to him, I really love it when we're, I really enjoy it when we're intimate. I've noticed that we haven't been as intimate recently and it's something I really want to do with you. And I really want to continue as part of our marriage. Is anything on your mind? Is it a physical issue? Because what you want to do is identify the underlying cause. Once you identify the underlying cause, then you're able to then build on that. And the relationship can then flourish. So that's what I would suggest. Having that sensitive conversation with him and trying to unpack the underlying cause.
